breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires
immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00
p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it’s a matter
of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance. In social
life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are
not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or
four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas
of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance
because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten.
The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings
arise between people from different cultures that treat time differently. Promptness
is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may
be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think
of keeping a business associate waiting for an hour, it would be too impolite. A
person who is 5 minutes late, will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps
he will not complete the sentence. (260 words)
